Early life

Growing up on the north and west side of Nashville, Tha City Paper slowly began to plant his seeds without even knowing. Around 1996–1997 while in high school, Paper was dating the cousin of a rapper named Pistol. He was also cool with Pistol's cousins, who were a part of a group called "PJN", whom Pistol created. Marcus Fitzgerald, Tha City Paper's name, was also a thriving young basketball player before joining the hip-hop scene.[3]

Music career

Solo career

Young Paper began to listen in a lot on the group PJN recording sessions, and slowly but surely his interest in rap was peaking. He later became a part of that group as well. Over time, he featured on plenty of Pistol's tracks, and slowly made a name for himself. He has made many songs, including, "City Paper (dope boy swagg)", and "Lil Bo Tuff" which were off his independent album Paper View.[3] In 2011 he dropped a mixtape entitled DOPaminE which was hosted by DJ Scream.[4]

Cashville Records

After Young Buck heard Tha City Paper's mixtape DOPaminE he was quick to sign him to Ca$hville Records in early 2012. In the summer of 2012 both Buck and Paper linked up for a Collaboration mixtape entitled G.a.S - Gangsta and Street, this was the first project Paper released through Cashville Records since he signed to the label.[5]
